Subject: RE: gforce 2


>>geforce 1 system performs the same as the ge-force2 system. so maybe u
should try some more mem.<<

That's great. But considering he was asking about upgrading from a TNT2, not the original GF, it doesn't answer his question.

Yes, you will see an improvement from the TNT2. I'm assuming, since you said it's a 32 MB pci GF2, you are refering to the GF2 MX 200. To be honest tho, save up the extra $10-15 and get the GF2 MX 400 which has 64MB. You'll be happier with the results. Also look into getting at least 256MB of system ram.



>>my bro has geforce 3 and says it's awesome. I'm pretty sure it's PCI. they probably have for both PCI and AGP.<<

I've searched all over and have been unable to find a pci GF3. If he really has one, I'd be interested in where he got it from. None of the numerous manufacturers I've checked have made them as pci.


It's true that the prices might drop a bit more, as not all the GF4 versions have come out yet. I saw on the visiontek site that the GF4 MX versions (which are just revamped GF2 MXs) were listed as agp/pci. Unfortunately, after hours of searching around, I found plenty of the agp versions but not the pci. It could be they will be released in the future, but who knows.
